Shift4
The San Antonio Spurs have taken a major step in elevating the fan experience at their home venues by announcing a new partnership with Shift4, a leading provider of integrated payments and commerce technology. As part of this collaboration, Shift4 will become the official integrated payment technology partner for the Spurs, offering cutting-edge solutions designed to streamline payments and improve operational efficiency at both the Frost Bank Center and Toyota Field.
A Seamless Experience for Fans
As part of the agreement, Shift4’s state-of-the-art payment systems will be implemented across various touchpoints at both venues, including ticketing and concessions. Fans attending Spurs games at the Frost Bank Center will now benefit from fast, efficient, and secure payment options, including self-checkout kiosks and AI-powered transaction features. These innovations are designed to minimize wait times and create a seamless transaction experience for fans throughout the arena.
“We’re thrilled to partner with the Spurs to ensure their fans have an incredible game-day experience at Frost Bank Center,” said Dustin Alpert, Shift4’s Head of Sports & Entertainment. “Our end-to-end commerce solution will simplify venue operations and ensure fast, seamless, and convenient payments across the arena.”
The new technology rollout is already in full effect at Frost Bank Center, with Shift4’s payment devices available to customers at all events. In addition, Shift4’s systems will be introduced at Toyota Field, home of San Antonio FC, starting in 2025, enhancing the fan experience at soccer games as well.
Introducing Shift4 Lofts: A Premium Fan Experience
In a bid to provide even more premium options for Spurs fans, the partnership with Shift4 also brings the launch of the Shift4 Lofts at the Frost Bank Center. These premium suites, located on the balcony level of the arena, offer a unique game-day experience, available for rent during all Spurs home games.
Each Shift4 Loft accommodates four to six people and includes all-inclusive food and beverage service with in-seat wait service. The luxury suites also provide additional perks, such as early entry to games and exclusive presale access to purchase tickets for upcoming concerts at the Frost Bank Center.
“We’re inspired by Shift4’s solution-oriented approach to providing integrated commerce technology to their customers, as we too strive to elevate and enhance the experience of our customers and fans,” said Joe Loomis, Senior Vice President of Finance, Technology & Culinary Operations at Spurs Sports & Entertainment. “The Shift4 Lofts offer a new and appealing option for Spurs fans, with premium service and amenities, and we’re thrilled to have Shift4’s support and partnership in this new venture.”
